Local-first, model-agnostic AI research workbench for macOS, Windows & Linux.
Formerly Open Science. An open-source desktop alternative to Claude Science and similar AI-for-science workbenches — built with Tauri, MCP, agent skills, and reproducible artifacts. It connects agents, notebooks, files, figures, reports, runs, and review into one auditable desktop workflow.
- 2026-10-04 — 🖱️ Computer Use, terminals and editors. The agent can now operate desktop apps like ImageJ, Origin and instrument software; panes hold terminals, files and a code editor, where Claude Code / Codex resume after a relaunch; plus find (⌘F), jump to any session or project (⌘J), and Linux ARM64 for DGX Spark. (v0.6.0)
- 2026-08-18 — 🖥️ Runs without a screen, and the terminal command comes with it.
osd serverstarts the whole workbench — workspace, agent runtime, and the same web UI — on a machine with no display, andosd session send … --waitdrives it from a script or another agent.osdships inside the desktop installer and puts itself on your PATH on first launch; on a server the archive needs nothing installed. Models, keys and approvals are all configurable from the terminal (osd model,osd auth,osd approval). - 2026-08-13 — 🔌 Speaks the Agent Client Protocol, both directions. Drive Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, or any other ACP agent from inside this app — with its own models, history, and your MCP connectors — or drive Open Science itself from Zed, JetBrains, or Neovim. (v0.4.0)
- 2026-08-01 — 🗂️ Projects, memory, and full history. Group sessions into named projects (import an existing repo in place, no copying), give the agent persistent global and project memory, and reach every past conversation through a searchable history with archive, restore, and export. (v0.3.1)
- 2026-07-24 — 🪟 Split-pane tiling. Tile sessions side by side, drag panes to re-dock them, keep several independent Screens, and run a different model in each pane.
